<h2>Line and Page Breaking</h2>


<p>The first thing LaTeX does when processing ordinary

    text is to translate your input file into a string of glyphs

    and spaces. To produce a printed document, this string must

    be broken into lines, and these lines must be broken into pages.

    In some environments, you do the line breaking yourself with

    the <tt>\\</tt> command, but LaTeX usually does it for you.</p>
